What Sheriff Prine says about stepping up patrol in the rush of crime is fine and well; however, when and where the criminals will strike is another question. It only takes a split second for a robber to be in and out of the scene of the crime. What we need is community cooperation. If a citizen sees or knows something, report it. A criminal cannot hurt you if they are behind bars.
People that complain to or about their neighbors by sending anonymous letters are cowards. If you weren’t such “chickens” then maybe you could go to them in person. Your neighbor may be noisy, but at least he’s not a coward.
When the Valdosta Police Department gave tips to prevent being robbed in the paper Sunday, why didn’t they say to get a gun, a permit, learn how to use it, and carry it at all times. I carry mine because a policeman is too heavy.
Thank you to the city and mayor for having a vision for the future. Now is the time to acquire 5 Points.
To the biker that gave my daughter the stuffed black bear — Thank you. She loves it. Thank you for riding in the cold for the kids. Merry Christmas.
Sheriff Prine and Chief Simons, we appreciate the increased patrol units to deter robberies. But even then the odds of catching a criminal in the act by patrolman driving by is still in the favor of the criminal. Instead, please use these extra patrolmen for undercover roadside checks. They will uncover multiple violations, and may even find stolen property. When the lawless go through undercover roadside checks regularly and randomly, eventually they will move to another town.
If the American flag is present during the playing of the National Anthem then you should be facing the flag with your hand over your heart.
It is not a requirement to say thank you when someone does something nice for you either, but it’s called respect. Why would any American not have respect for their anthem or flag? Maybe you should visit Iraq. I imagine you will come home with a lot of respect for your country.
Thank you, Park Avenue United Methodist Church, for a delightful concert. An event to remember.
To the people and businesses around, please give more to the Empty Stocking Fund. Think of the smile you would put on a little child’s face.
